    No worries guys I always knew it would be a struggle with this rain about. Jeffro you beauty mate good on ya B) Saturday night will be an arena cross type event,really good to watch. I am hoping the Dungog guys have plenty of help as they have had a shit run with the weather for the last few years.
    anyone who comes along will be more than welcome and you will get to ride on some primo trails,albeit they may be a bit damp :laugh:

    Well,
    Me and Ash decided to do a late run up to Dungog this arvo to catch the action at the Showground ;)
    Where else can you get free entry to a grandstand and watch close to 5 hrs of Grasstrack style Moto action :woohoo:
    Not to mention some of the best up & coming riders in the country, some international visitors and the top ranking Enduro guys of the AORC close up,,,,,

    Also got to spend some hours in the stand with Moose & co ;) Always great times there :laugh:

    And managed to bump into Ollie a couple of times as well,,,, (he looked knackered by 8.30pm) :dry: 😆

    Some of the highlights,
    See young George Steel (moose` young fella) in action in the juniors :) He went well, and should be real proud of his achievements !!!

    Seeing Trent Lean (Ollies mate) goe toe to toe with Geoff Ballard lap after lap in the Masters ,,,,

    Pricey toying with the pack, sitting behind Merriman till the last lap tabletop, cutting under him in the air and hooting to victory for the final lap :woohoo:

    Watching Matt Phillips rear disc glowing red in the night right around the track to eventually win the pro heat :whistle:
    Chris Hollis had led from the start and put big time into them, but unfortunately threw the chain in a deep rut with two laps to go :pinch: He fixed it and finished to get a huge round of applause from the crowd ;) Poor Bugger

    There were some BIG offs on the tabletop :blink: But they all got back up, dusted themselves off & got right back into the business :S Moose & I would still be lying there :laugh:

    The whole place was a buzz from start to finish really, noise, bling and great racing,,,,,
    Must mention that Ash (my 12yo daughter) commented on the way home how awsome it was to actually feel the vibrations in the Grandstand seats as the big fourstrokes ripped past B)

    Vids are a bit long, but you get the vibe of the event I think

    what an awsome event :woohoo: I think the dungog forest 300 is probably the Premier 2 day Enduro being run in Australia at this point in time. Beags was right at 830 PM I was stuffed :blush: went and had a hot shower and jumped into my swag just as the dust retention started coming down :laugh: One of the hardest 130 Km rides Ive done for a while. I nearly had a mild heart attack going down one greasy red clay no traction off camber hill. :sick: And when you ride a trail with a name of “this trail sucks” well says it all really. This was an old style enduro with quite a few DNF’s I will report more on this a bit later.
